Verse 2
Like widowed women, (C minor) drunk men weep (G major)
Like children curled (C minor) up, drunk men sleep
(B minor) Like a dog,
a drunk will crawl around on all (G major) fours
Verse 3
(G major)
Be he broke (C major) bum or rich rake
His dinner (C minor) be it bread or cake
His (F major) beverage be the worse of whiskey,
finest (G major) wine
(C minor) (G major)
Verse 4
Puke it stinks and (C minor) so it seems
(G major) That drunkards go to great extremes (C minor)

straight (G major) high
(C minor) (G major) (C minor)
Verse 5
Drunk (G major) s talk strong (C minor) when
drunks are weak (G major)
It's easy for (C minor) a drunk to speak
(G major) (B minor) Straight from (G major) the heart
(C minor)

Yeah, (G major) drunks will fight
they're not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress
and make the maid
(B minor) It's a manly (G major) art
Verse 7

Oh, but (C major) big toll will take
Blood ves (C minor) sels in nose will break (F major)
Bags beneath the eyes,
an (G major) other sign (C minor)
(G major)
Verse 8
Drunks get ugly, so (C minor) it seems
(G major) That drunkards go to great (C minor) extremes
(G major) (B minor) But there has yet to be a perfectly straight
(G major) line

Verse 9
Drunks are friendly (C minor) when
they're drunk (G major) and
Drunks are hostile (C minor) when they're drunk
Which (B minor) drunk it is,
it all depends upon (G major)
(C minor) (G major)
Verse 10
When drunks aren't drunk,
they thirst for drink
And the elephants are grey, not pink
And the (B minor) drink evaporates the man (G major) is gone,
gone, gone, gone
Verse 11
Back to the yacht (C major) s and
the subway cars (C minor)
To the hip flasks and fruit jars (F major)
Flat on the face and flat on (G major) the behind
(C minor)
Verse 12
Oh, (G major) drunks get drunk and so (C minor) it seems
(G major) That drunkards go to (C minor) great extremes (G major)
(B minor) But there has yet to be a
perfectly straight (G major) line (C minor)
Straight line (G major) (C minor)
Straight (G major) line
